Setup your Satellite Dish - Basic Guide

Are planning to buy a satellite dish? Here’s a basic guide on installation of your satellite dish and this has been created through research of the various brands of satellite dishes available.

Step 1: Familiarization with your satellite dish equipment: This is not a soft toy, it is a technologically advanced piece of equipment or machinery and hence knowing the various parts will help you to set it up without any problems. The various parts that you need to identify include:

•    The dish or reflector
•    LNB
•    Mounting hardware like screws and bolts

Step 2: Determining the type of satellite dish. The second step is to determine whether you are setting up an elliptical multi satellite TV dish or the standard satellite dish. The elliptical satellite dish measures 18x24 inches while the standard dish has a diameter of 18 inches.

Step 3: Settings of your satellite dish. Here’s how to calculate the angle. You need to write them down so that the settings can be made accordingly

Azimuth: ____________

Elevation: ____________

Tilt: ____________ (Skew)

Step 4: Mounting of the satellite dish. Don’t just go ahead and mount the satellite dish; consult the product manual first. The manual has step-by-step instructions of assembling the dish.

Note: The LNB arm needs a special mention here. It has a clamp that will slide down over a mast in order to set it in place. Once this is achieved, you can mount the mast as well as the foot assembly as specified in the manual. In order to keep the mast horizontally and vertically straight, you need to use a plumb bob or a level.

Step 5: Alignment of the Dish: Use a compass and a pencil for aligning your satellite dish in such a way so that it can locate the satellite signal. Now slowly mount the satellite dish assembled by you by sliding the clamp down over the mast arm. Now tighten the bolts to hold it secure and remember not to tighten it so hard that it becomes impossible to turn it later on. Now use the skew or tilt coordinates to set the tilt of your satellite dish to the specific location. Once this is done, set the satellite dish elevation using the angle calculator.

Step 6: Locating the Signal. Now you need to run the cables from your receiver to the satellite dish. Once that is in place, turn on your satellite receiver. Remember to put your receiver in the dish pointing or signal pointing mode once you enter the setup menu.  Consult the manual. The next step will be to stand behind the satellite dish so that it can be moved 3 degrees to the right. Check for signal. If the signal is not there then move your dish by three more degrees towards the right and check again for a signal. Continue this process till you are able to get optimal signal quality, which should be between 75 and 100 on the receivers signal strength meter.

can anyone tell me what kind of LNB i have to use to view ARABSAT satellite tv.and how big the dish have to be

I'm From Midlands England.

Depends on what satellite, or satellites you want to receive. Hotbird, at 13 degrees east, has plenty of Arabic channels; many are free, but there are pay packages as well. There are other satellites, also to choose from. An 80/90cm. dish would be about the size. Three web sites for info. below.

Satellite Dish $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A dish is a type of parabolic antenna designed to receive microwaves from communications satellites, which transmit data transmissions or broadcasts, such as satellite television. The parabolic shape of a dish reflects the signal to the dishs focal point. Mounted on brackets at the dishs focal point is a device called a feedhorn. This feedhorn is essentially the frontend of a waveguide that gathers the signals at or near the focal point and conducts them to a lownoise block downconverter or LNB. The LNB converts the signals from electromagnetic or radio waves to electrical signals and shifts the signals from the downlinked Cband and/or Kuband to the Lband range. Direct broadcast satellite dishes use an LNBF, which integrates the feedhorn with the LNB. (A new form of omnidirectional satellite antenna, which does not use a directed parabolic dish and can be used on a mobile platform such as a vehicle was announced by the University of Waterloo in 2004.

Watch Satellite TV on Pc or TV – Options you Have for Satellite TV

To watch satellite TV on PC is the latest craze that has hit home. America and the rest of the world have long been initiated to watch satellite TV as early as 1995. Research survey reveals that there are more than 50 million subscribers to satellite TV worldwide in 2003 and this figure is projected to hit more than 100 million homes within these few years. So people are not new to the idea of watching satellite TV. To watch satellite TV on PC is a real new experience for most and people are thrilled at the ease of doing so. Let’s explore the different options you have to watch satellite TV.

Old users of satellite TV would be familiar with popular satellite TV providers like DirecTV, Dish Network, Sky Perfect TV and British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB). Satellite TV providers work on a monthly subscription model. It generally would cost you anything between $30 to less than $100 per month. In order to watch satellite TV, special equipment needs to be installed at your home such as the satellite dish, receiver, low-noise block converter (LNB), mount and other peripherals. Depending on the subscription plans offered, there are times when the satellite TV providers would throw in some freebies such as free equipment and installation, or bundled deals to entice you to sign up with their services. You would then have access to watch a few hundred worldwide channels.

There is another dubious alternative, ie using devices such as emulators, bootloaders or unloopers, smart cards and bootleg DirecTV cards to intercept and steal satellite TV signals from DirecTV and other satellite TV providers. While pirates are able to escape detection for a short while, but more often than not, the digital satellite systems developer are able to stop the interception with electronic counter measures. Once the satellite TV devices are jammed, especially for the smart cards, they become completely useless. Pirates would then hack and reprogram the cards. Smart cards are not exactly cheap to use especially when there is a periodic need to reprogram them. Reprogramming is not free.

This is a race where consumers who want to watch satellite TV are the real victims. The cost of setting up equipment like the dish, receiver, LNB and other peripherals to use in conjunction with these cards is yet another cost consumers have to bear. At least satellite TV providers do provide them free during some promotional offers.

There have been new entrants into the satellite TV market in the form of internet satellite TV software providers. Recognizing a growing market for satellite TV, software developers have ingeniously come up with proprietary software so that one can now watch satellite TV on PC. There is no equipment installation needed in order to watch satellite TV on PC. All one needs is a minimum 56K internet connection and once you have installed the satellite TV software you are ready to plug into programs from more than a few thousand worldwide stations. But a hint for you is to use broadband connection for improved transmission and viewing quality.

More people are turning to using internet satellite TV software to watch satellite TV on PC because of its ease of use and low cost. Rather than to pay a monthly subscription, people prefer to pay a one-time fee of lesser than $50 to purchase the proprietary software. Folks also like the idea of being able to access additional TV channels as more are added with time, without having to pay more like what they are used to at some satellite TV providers. If you find a channel or movie you like to watch, you do not have to top up or pay for the movie using the software. With all these perks, who else doesn’t want to watch satellite TV on PC? Learn more about this proprietary software and how you can watch satellite TV on PC within a few minutes from now.
